Grilled and Marinated Zucchini and Yellow Squash Recipe image

"It's amazing how a quick and simply marinade can change the flavors of zucchini and yellow squash. This lemony-peppery mixture really wakes them up. This may seem to be in reverse order-grill, then marinate-but it's a classic Italian technique that creates great results."-Bobby Flay

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise
2 medium yellow squash, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper, divided
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1 pinch red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil

  • Heat grill to high.
  • Brush zucchini and yellow squash with 1 tablespoon oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Grill cut side down until light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and continue grilling until just thoroughly cooked, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Remove from grill and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  • Whisk together remaining 1/4 cup oil, lemon juice, lemon rind, red pepper flakes and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add zucchini, yellow squash and basil; toss to coat. Cover and let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours before serving.

I'm not a huge fan of zucchini, but this recipe changed my mind. The grilled zucchini was so tender and flavorful, I couldn't get enough of it.

The marinade really makes all the difference in this recipe. I let my vegetables marinate for at least an hour before grilling, and they were so flavorful.
